Welcome To The 5th Global Automotive Lightweight Manufacturing Summit 2018 Focusing On Advanced Joining, Forming & Manufacturing Technologies For Lightweight Body Structures

This year’s OEM-led agenda will focus on providing solutions to the most current joining and forming issues for large-scale vehicle manufacturing with the added bonus of exploring how EV body structure will impact current and future joining and manufacturing technologies.

Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the requirement of fuel economy that would gradually increase the average miles per gallon requirements for cars to 54.5mpg by 2025.

As lightweighting technologies continue to impact the manufacturing of vehicle production, the resulting benefits of driving fuel efficiency, lowering carbon footprint and enhancing vehicle performance remains at the forefront. Thus, discovering the latest methodologies and technologies in joining dissimilar materials, and reducing production cycles for high-volume vehicle production continues to be the priority for the automotive industry.

The 2018 event will gather together knowledge and information from both leading traditional and new electric vehicle OEMs to showcase the latest case studies and discussions aimed at enhancing the performance of dissimilar material joining, corrosion mitigation strategies and eliminating thermal expansion issues, whilst at the same time improving manufacturing processes for lightweight materials: Magnesium, Aluminium, New-Age Steel and Composites.

The event theme is carefully contextualised to bring a 360-degree view on driving down costs and improving the scalability of new manufacturing technologies.
